ALFRED OATGHPOLE, OF GENEVA, NEW YORK.

STEAM OR HOT- WATER RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 379,047, dated March 6, 1888.

Application filed May 'I, 1887.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALFRED OATOHPOLE, of Geneva, in the county of Ontario, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Steam or Hot-Water Radiators, of which the following, taken in conneetion with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to the class of steam or hot-water radiators which are composed of upright tubes mounted on a steam or water tion to the companiontubes, whereby the ra diator is rendered more compact, and at the same time presents increased radiating-surfaces; and the invention furthermore consists in certain novel features of the details of the radiator, all as hereinafter more fully described, and set forth in the claims.

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of aradiator embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of a portion of the radiator, taken through the center or on the line :10 m, Fig. 8. Figs. at and 5 are vertical transverse sections, respectively, on lines 3 y, Fig. 7, and z a, Fig. 8. Fig. 6 is a horizontal transverse section on line U U, Fig. 1. Figs. 7 and 8 are enlarged horizontal transverse sections of a steam-radiator tube and a hot-water-radiator tube, respectively. Figs. 9 and 10 are enlarged horizontal longitudinal sections of the bottom chambers of a hot-water radiator and a steam-radiator, re spectively; and Fig. 11 is a detached perspective view of a section of my improved radiator.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

a a, united at one end and forming an eductionchannel, b, between them and an inductionchannel, 0, around them, as shown in Fig. 9 of the drawings. In a steam-radiator the aforesaid partitions are omitted, as illustrated in Fig. 10 of the drawings. This bottom chamber, A, I divide transversely on the linesd dd and detachably connect the sections to each ber A, and thus reduce the cost of manufac-- ture, as hereinbefore stated. The tube B, I form of vertical tubular ribs 1" 1', arranged parallel side by side with a space, It, between them and united back of said space and at the top, and the vertical tubular rib a", projecting rearward from the junction of the ribs 1' r and communicating with the same at their upper ends. Each of the tubes B is thus formed integral with a section, 0, of a cap, 0, extending the length of the radiator, as represented in Fig. 1 of the drawings, said sections being separated from each other by the front and rear walls, 12 i, of said sections, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. 1 The described radiator-tubes B B, I arrange in such a manner as to cause the rib r of each tube to project into the space It between the ribs 1'?" of the adjacent tube, as illustrated in Fig. 6 of the drawings, thereby rendering the radiator more compact.

It will be observed that by the described form of the radiator-tube I materially increase the radiating-surface thereof.

In a hot-water radiator I separate the hollow ribs 1 r r from each other by longitudinal partitions Z l, as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 7 of the drawings, which partitions terminate a short distance below the cap 0. The tubular ribs r r communicate at the base with the channels 0 c and the tubular rib r communicates with the eduction-channel b. The hot water is thus made to ascend from the channels a c of the chamber A through the ribs 1' r and pass over the upper ends of the partitions Z Z, and thence descend through the rib r to the eductionchannel b, from whence it is conducted back to the heater by a pipe, n, connected to said eduction-channel, as illustrated in Fig. 9 of the drawings.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. A steam or hot-water radiator-tube composed of the vertical tubular ribs 2" r, arranged side by sidewith the space It between them and united back of said space and at the top, the vertical rib 1", projecting rearward from the junction of the ribs 1- r and communicating with the same, and the chamber-section A, formed integral with the aforesaid tube, substantially as described and shown.

2. In a steam or hot-water radiator, the radiator-tubes, each composed of vertical tubu- ALFRED CATOHPOLE. [L. s.]
